Had another u/s couple of weeks ago and showed fibroids still of course. So my doctor wants to send me for an endometrial biopsy and it is like why...my sister had fibroids they went away when…

Am I under eating?
Mfp gave me a daily goal of 1400 cals to lose weight. I think I’m not sure but I think I burn about 60-100 cals in each workout session. I workout 6 days a week. Also I do add back and eat 60-100 cals I burn. I go martial arts 2 days a week. This is a mixture of high and moderate intensity. 4 days I do weight training. 2…

Help! I’m “stuck” at my weight!
Hey everybody! I came here looking for some advice, tips, motivation, or just something along those lines. I have been using MyFitnessPal religiously for about 4-5 months now. I log every day, every single thing I eat. Sometimes I allow myself to eat over, but I still track what I eat. One “cheat day” won’t kill my…

Question! Calories burned by lifting...
So we all know lifting weights doesn't burn a ton of calories while you're lifting but keeps you burning calories long after you're done in the gym. My question is, my Fitbit doesn't have a way to track these extra calories burned, does it? For example: according to my Fitbit on a day I lift then do HIIT for 20 mins I…

Swimming
Hey everyone. I absolutely hate running, ellipticals, bikes etc. So I decided to try out swimming. Except I'm rubbish at it. I cant swim underwater without my nose plugged so no fancy strokes here, but I swim back and forth, sometimes with a board and without (plenty of kicking and arm movement). I feel fairly pooped when…

Need some advice, stressed and confused...
Two weeks ago, I started counting my calories again and going to the gym. Cut back smoking significantly and plan on stopping cold turkey on Christmas eve (due to the two days off of work). First week was bad, honestly. As I've said in other threads, my husband deployed and I was having a hard time dealing with the streas.…

Does this mean my weight loss is predominantly fat?
Bear with me while I explain, please. If 7 months ago at 248 lbs of body weight, my maximum bench press was 5 repetitions at 225 lbs. Then yesterday, at 197 lbs of body weight, I achieved the same feat of bench pressing 225 lbs. for 5 repetitions, wouldn't that be a pretty good indicator that my weight loss was…

Normal AIC, high blood glucose.
Hello everybody. I went in for a metabolic blood panel and no one told me to fast so I had a huge lunch (ice cream included) four hours before they took my blood. Stupid move, I know. The blood glucose test came back at 122 mg/dL. This scared me but I thought perhaps eating four hours beforehand might have caused the BG to…

Losing weight too fast?
I just started my weight loss program 11 days ago and I've lost 9 lbs (4.1kg precisely). I reduced my calorie intake to 1300 and i exercise morning and night (HIIT in the morning and stretches/core exercises at night). I raised my protein intake and reduced my carbs intake and am absolutely fine (but hungry sometimes a…

Am I on the right track?
I am a 50 year old female and I am 5'8. I started the Keto diet along with the B12 shots from my doctor. I was 235 pounds when I started and I am now 218 pounds. I am wondering if this is a success because I have seen where others have lost more in two weeks. I exercise and follow the keto diet as recommended. I know my…

Working out while ill is not productive
Give your body’s energy to healing. A few days of not working out will make no difference m. Working out while you are ill is likely not making you stronger since your body is already focusing on fighting an illness. And please don’t go to the gym or public place where others will become ill too. The bathrooms at gyms are…

How much of a gap do you leave for calories?
Obviously you can't get an exact count for daily consumed calories, I was curious if it's normal to leave a gap in calorie count. So for example if my max calories is 1,500 I'll just eat up to 1,200 in case of error.

Sensitive topic, mostly for the guys to answer but the ladies can also answer
I have a curious question and my experience losing weight in a sensitive area of life. I honestly have no one to ask in life and would be too embarrassed to any way. When you were heavier were you having issues getting and maintaining a certain thing for intercourse like I was? I just wonder if that effects most guys that…

Weigh in
I weigh daily and my scale syncs with myfitnesspal. As we know the scale fluctuates. So, does myfitnesspal take the last low weigh in and subtract to get your current loss? What I mean is let's say I weighed 305 yesterday and then 307 today then drop back down to 304 tomorrow. Will it say I lost 1 pound or will it say I…

Logging something like a turkey
So, this could have been something that came up for Thanksgiving, but it didn't because I didn't do the cooking and for Christmas, I likely will. How in heaven's name do you figure out the calories or even the servings in something like a turkey? Like, I have a recipe, and oddly enough it gives me the calories and even the…

Fitness tracker heart rate monitor
I saw the other fitness tracker question and just remembered my question. I would like to get a new one that does more or less continuous heart rate monitoring. I have one that's super cheap and on the charts it only shows my heart rate every 30 minutes. Do the more expensive ones do a continuous rate. It would be nice to…

Progressive Lifting Programs
I recently started back up on a progressive lifting program and this time have increased my calories by 200 to better fuel my workouts. I am near my goal weight and figured a rate of 0.5 lb/week makes more sense. Out of curiosity, how long did it take before you saw visual progress from your lifting program? I've heard it…

How low should I go?
I’ll try to make this brief and clear as possible. MFP has “assigned” me a daily caloric intake of 1500 per day. (I’m 5 feet tall, 47 years old and very active: I’m a fitness instructor and work out pretty much every day.) I lost the 9 lbs I wanted to lose, (and then some) ... and now I’m REALLY hungry. Like all day long.…

By how much weight can the body fluctuates with poor eating?
Hello everyone. Been staying strong on my weight loss journey but I must admit I have been eating like a wild hog. I would always weigh myself every morning despite eating bad and the past 2 weeks have always stayed in the 332 and 333 range. Well, today I weighed 328! I know not a large fluctuation but why am I back down…
